Johns Journal : Week of March 16 2001.
" The first encounter with a spirit that really knocked me for a spin,
was in a relatives historic home on Queen Street in Sarnia , ON. No
one had to tell me that there was a presence there, I felt it as I
walked up the front stairs.
I had been attending a funeral. I was staying at the home for a week
during the event. I was staying in a room that was very nice. A girl
roommate told me that she could never sleep in that room . I just
smiled and went up to the room.
The first night there something strange happened. We had put the dog
in it's crate for the night. We were gathered in the kitchen talking and
the dog walks in and get a drink. I asked " Didn't you lock the dog up?"
My cousin replied, " It's just the ghost playing with the dog " . . . I sat
for a second and let it sink in. " Have you seen the spirit?" I asked.
"No . . . but we have seen something unlock the crate and play with the
dog. " my cousin said.
They went on to describe things like light switches turning on and off,
footsteps in the upstairs hallway , cold spots in the house , and a
sense of being watched. They added that a medium came through the
house and told them that it was a spirit lady that was a previous
owner. A friendly happy spirit who liked the family especially the
mother. I took it all in and went to bed.
As I lay in bed, my ears started to ring, and my stomach began to ache.
This is the first two things that happen to me when a spirit is close.
I looked around the room and saw a shadow moving across the wall. The
room started to get cold. " Is there any spirit being who would like to
make their presence known . . ." , I cleared my throat and continued, " I
ask you to please make a sound, move something , . . . . touch me " . Then
I felt a breeze go past me and towards the door . . . and then the light
switch in the hall clicked on. I got out of bed to investigate.
The hall was freezing and so was the light switch . Nobody else was in
the hall and I felt that nobody even was aware. I switched the light
off and waited for a minute. I asked " Please do it again . . " . After 10
minutes I giggled to myself and went back to bed.
I was awakened at 3 A.M. freezing because something had opened the
window. I got up, closed and locked the window and jumped into bed.
It had only taken a few seconds to Know I wasn't alone. Right before my
eyes the corner of the bed sank as an impression appeared on the
sheets and mattress. Pins and Needles shot all over my body. I reached
out towards the end of the bed. I felt my hand tingle. " Ouch ! " I
yelled and heard a bedroom door open. The thing on the bed stood up
and disappeared. " Are you O.K. ! " my cousin asked, " Did you see it ? "
I asked as I walked out into the hall. " What are you talking about ? "
my cousin yelled. So I told them what happened. The roommate turned
white and said , " I'll never sleep in there again ! " . After we calmed
down I went back to bed and nothing else happened. . . that night!
Two nights later we were in the basement lounge watching T.V. . I kept
hearing noises coming from the other side of the basement. " Can you
hear that . . . what is that ? " I whispered to my cousin. She muted the
T.V. and listened in the silence. " It sounds like dragging footsteps . .
and there getting closer " she whispered with wide eyes. " Does this
always happen ? " I asked . . " No . . only scratching noises and cold
breezes. " my cousin replied. The footsteps stopped outside a door that
lead to the rest of the basement. I got up and went over to the door.
" NO . . . don't open that door ! " begged my cousin . I grabbed the
doorknob and recoiled in pain. " WOW . . . I got another bad shock ! " I
yelled. The girls were already halfway up the stairs when they heard
a loud static discharge in the air. Then the lights and T.V. both turned
off at the same time. I sat in the basement in the dark for an hour by
myself waiting for more but the show was over.
Nothing else happened while I was there. My cousin and her family
have moved since then. The house is even more active Now. There is a
new spirit in the house now. Both of the kind souls watch over and
protect all who enter the home on Queen Street. "
